MILEY CYRUS‘ Perth finale was a night to remember by many, Miley‘s dance moves, filled with crotch-grabbing, sexy hair-flicking; the former Hannah Montana dressed in revealing leather hot pants, sparkling bra, boot-suspenders.. totally different from the persona of sweet and innocent Hannah Montana.
The Miley Cyrus concert at Burswood Dome in Perth, Saturday night has been buzzing among celebrity gossip websites, not only for the show of flesh by 18-year-old, Cyrus but also by many of her young fans.
Some concert-goers contacted , the Perth local paper, PerthNow to say they were shocked at how young many of the fans were – given the raunchiness of the show – and how little clothes many of them were wearing.
“I personally think that (children) dressing in such a provocative and sexualised way is totally inappropriate,” Associate Professor Helen Street, a psychologist who lectures in the School of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience at the University of WA.
“Beyond that I think it is potentially dangerous, emotionally and socially.”
“To dress up at home or experiment with mum’s make-up is one thing but to actually put on make-up and sexually revealing clothes to go out in is totally inappropriate.”
I am a mother of a young tween and sometimes it scares me to see how fast young girls want to grow up. I think role models are so critical and unfortunately, nowadays, these role models are almost like the dinosaurs: Extinct!
What do you think? Do we need to draw a line somewhere? Would you want your young daughter to watch a Miley concert?
